Pad sites and ground leases

Pads and ground leases.

We have developed, leased and sold pads. We don’t just list them.

How we run it.

  1. Underwrite

    Confirm geometry, access, utilities, drainage, signage, and the entitlement picture before anything is marketed.

  2. Structure

    Weigh sale, ground lease, and build-to-suit against the owner's basis, tax position, and timeline.

  3. Market

    Approach the operator, franchisee, developer, and net-lease universes that match the corner's economics.

  4. Execute

    Negotiate LOIs, manage diligence and title, and carry the deal through closing or lease commencement.

A pad site is a small piece of land with an outsized number of ways to get it wrong. Geometry, access rights, cross-parking, utility stubs, visibility, signage rights, co-tenancy, and the ground-lease versus sale decision all move value more than the acreage does. Eagle Nest works pads as an owner and developer first, which changes how the firm underwrites them for clients.

The firm's current pad work includes the S. Cooper Street pad sites it has listed in Arlington, the subdividable retail pads it is marketing at Roanoke Ranch on SH-114 in Roanoke, and pad-site assignments across DFW. That live inventory keeps the firm in direct contact with the operators, franchisees, developers, and net-lease investors who actually take pads down.

For landowners, the highest-value question is usually structural: sell the pad, ground lease it, or hold it through a build-to-suit. Each path prices differently, taxes differently, and risks differently. Eagle Nest helps owners choose the structure before the marketing, so the site is presented to the right universe on the right terms.

Brokerage services are provided through Eagle Nest Brokerage LLC, the firm's licensed Texas brokerage entity. Advisory services are provided through Eagle Nest Property Group as applicable.

Good to read before you call.

Does Eagle Nest have pad sites available now?

Yes. Current work includes the S. Cooper Street pad sites in Arlington and the subdividable retail pads at Roanoke Ranch, plus assignments that are marketed privately.

Should an owner sell a pad or ground lease it?

It depends on basis, tax position, and how much control the owner wants. Eagle Nest models both paths so the decision is made on numbers rather than habit.

Walk us through the assignment.

One short call usually settles whether we’re the right fit and what diligence comes next.
